When author Arnold Toynbee, in his book, A Study of History, analyzed the rise and fall of civilizations, the main determinant was the kind of leadership in place during times of trouble. If a creative minority was in charge, society would transcend itself and its difficulties. A decline generally happened when a dominant minority ruled and tried to tackle problems by imposing controls on its citizens.
Considering the many controls imposed by our leaders during the pandemic, I’m inclined to say a dominant minority is at the helm.
